American Savings Bank员工捐款271,000美元支持夏威夷五家非营利机构：94%员工参与Kahiau年度活动
美国夏威夷州的 American Savings Bank（ASB）宣布，其员工通过年度 Kahiau 员工捐赠活动向夏威夷五家非营利机构捐出合计271,000美元，94%的员工参与了今年的活动。10月27日，该行在其 Campus 举行招待会，庆祝今年的 Kahiau 合作伙伴。
今年受赠的五家机构均由该行员工组成的社区委员会选出，工作方向集中在可负担住房与金融教育：Catholic Charities Hawaiʻi 获52,000美元，支持可负担住房与家庭稳定项目；Child & Family Service 获75,000美元，支持金融教育与安全稳定住房；Hawaiian Community Assets 获43,000美元，支持住房咨询、金融教育与通往可负担自置居所的路径；Kupu 获61,000美元，支持面向全州参与者的金融教育；Partners in Development Foundation 获40,000美元，通过其 Keiki Asset Accounts 计划支持金融教育与家庭赋能项目。员工个人捐款为170,263美元，其余部分由 ASB Charitable Foundation 配捐补足至271,000美元。
在夏威夷语中，Kahiau 意为「真心给予、不求回报」。该活动自2011年启动以来，已累计向本地非营利机构捐出超过430万美元。今年新增的合作伙伴 Hawaiian Community Assets 多年来在 Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines 的 Member Impact Fund 支持下，已获 ASB 超过100万美元的资助，用于可负担住房与金融教育，ASB 还支持了该机构 Maui 办公室的开设及其帮助本地家庭走上购房之路的 Ua Hale Aʻela 计划。
ASB 总裁兼首席执行官 Ann Teranishi 表示，今年的 Kahiau 活动再次体现员工的慷慨，捐款将放大合作伙伴在全州的影响，帮助本地家庭离拥有自己的住房更近一步、帮助学生追求高等教育。Hawaiian Community Assets 首席执行官 Chelsie Evans Enos 表示，可负担住房仍是夏威夷家庭面临的最紧迫挑战之一，Kahiau 计划帮助这类机构继续推进住房稳定工作。
American Savings Bank teammates contribute $271,000 to five Hawaii nonprofits through the 2026 Kahiau Giving Campaign
American Savings Bank (ASB) in Hawaii announced that its teammates have contributed a combined $271,000 to five local nonprofits through the annual Kahiau Giving Campaign, with 94% of teammates participating this year. ASB celebrated its 2026 Kahiau partners at a reception at its Campus on Tuesday, October 27.
The five beneficiaries, selected by ASB's teammate-led Community Council, work on affordable housing and financial education: Catholic Charities Hawaiʻi received $52,000 for affordable housing and family stability initiatives; Child & Family Service received $75,000 for financial education and access to stable, safe housing; Hawaiian Community Assets received $43,000 for housing counseling, financial education and pathways to affordable homeownership; Kupu received $61,000 for financial education for program participants statewide; and Partners in Development Foundation received $40,000 for financial education through its Keiki Asset Accounts program and family empowerment programs. Teammates contributed $170,263, with a match from the ASB Charitable Foundation bringing the total to $271,000.
In Hawaiian, Kahiau means to give from the heart without expecting anything in return. Since the program began in 2011, the campaign has contributed more than $4.3 million to local nonprofits. This year's newest partner, Hawaiian Community Assets, has over the years received more than $1 million in grants from ASB, with support from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines' Member Impact Fund, for affordable housing and financial education; ASB also supported the opening of HCA's Maui office and its Ua Hale Aʻela program, which helps local families navigate the path to homeownership.
Ann Teranishi, president and CEO of American Savings Bank, said the campaign reflects teammates' generosity and helps local families get one step closer to homeownership and students pursue higher education. Chelsie Evans Enos, CEO of Hawaiian Community Assets, said access to affordable housing remains one of the most pressing challenges facing Hawaii's families and that the Kahiau program helps organizations continue working toward housing stability.
